Enum Constant Summary
Enum Constants Enum Constant Description DIRECT
The result of a comparison is determines solely by directly comparing the two elements of the same typeHIERARCHICAL
The result of a comparison of two elements is determined by first recursively determining the order of the parents of the two elements and only if the parents are equal to each other is the order determined by comparing the two elements.

The result of a comparison is determines solely by directly comparing the two elements of the same type
-
HIERARCHICAL
public static final ReportComparator.Strategy HIERARCHICAL
The result of a comparison of two elements is determined by first recursively determining the order of the parents of the two elements and only if the parents are equal to each other is the order determined by comparing the two elements. Note that this is quite heavy way of comparing the elements.

values
public static ReportComparator.Strategy[] values()
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:for (ReportComparator.Strategy c : ReportComparator.Strategy.values()) System.out.println(c);
- Returns:
- an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
-
valueOf
public static ReportComparator.Strategy valueOf(String name)
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)- Parameters:
name
- the name of the enum constant to be returned.- Returns:
- the enum constant with the specified name
- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if this enum type has no constant with the specified nameNullPointerException
- if the argument is null
